New Oxford High School - Memento Yearbook (New Oxford, PA)

fiwaewwad Those of us, while yet in high school, never .quite realize how our lives are being woven day by day out of myriads of invisible threads. But, in fact, each unnoticed influence, each guided activity, and every imperceptible tug up or down, which the ordinary daily high school experiences fumish, are silently, but surely, making up our lives and shaping their courses. The common place present in our high school lives we hardly count, be- cause we are always looking back on a past or dreaming ahead into a rosy future, which, we hope, will be full of wonderful and epoch-making events. And yet all the time, in spite of us, the future is being made out of the present, and the material of our future is to be what we are now weaving. This issue of the MEMENTO has been so planned that, in our dreamed-of future, we may look back on our past to see and appreciate the ac- tivities that were planned to meet our current needs and the incidental experiences that serve to make life more livable. May this MEMENTO brighten our future with cherished memories of our past. THE STAFF MEMENTO 1952 NEW OXFORD HIGH NEW OXFORD, PA.
